Body: I'm doing OK. My left knee is a little twinge-y, but other than that I'm fine.
Reading: Still reading Anathem. I might manage to finish it this weekend, or I might not.
Hearing: The Memory Palace, also Mountain Stage. You need to listen to Vagabond Opera. Their set on Mountain Stage was amazing, one of the best I've heard recently. Added Later: John Cowan's set of Christmas music was also great, with wonderful versions of "Ave Maria" and "Go Tell It On The Mountain".
Etsy find: A fun scarf in many shades of blue
Project Follow-up: Munchies and new insoles were acquired, and dinner was a ton of fun. Everybody seemed to be in a silly sort of mood, which meant there was a lot of laughing. Clothing and activites were also packed, although I'm waiting until I get home tonight to pack toiletries and gadgets.
Tonight's Project: Returning the rental car I've been using for the couple of weeks. Picking up my new car!!! Then we hit the road for Arisia. I'll be mostly AFK for the weekend, and probably will be too busy to answer my phone. If it's urgent send me a "emergency" or "call ASAP" text, otherwise, I'll get back to you when I get a spare couple of minutes.
Randomness: If you could go back in time and meet one of your ancestors, who would it be? Personally, I'd like to meet my Great-Grandpa McCartney (Dad's maternal grandfather), and my Great-Great-Aunt Genevieve (Mom's maternal grandmother's sister). I've heard great stories about Grampa McCartney, and I know that Mom loved Aunt Gen enough that I'm named after her.
